Anticommunism and the African American freedom movement "another side of the story"
The original essays in this book highlight the destructive impact of McCarthyism on the African American Freedom Movement. Recovering little-known stories of black radical activism, they challenge the idea that the Cold War was, on balance, beneficial to the movement. The book emphasizes what was lost when anticommunism forced the movement to submerge broader issues of economic justice, labor rights, feminism, and peace. The authors illustrate the often neglected or understated human costs of the Red Scare, focusing on local and individual stories that offer insight into larger national and international trends.
""This trailblazing, challenging, and exceedingly thoughtful book establishes a New Paradigm for the consideration of the most profoundly monumental change in this nation in recent decades: the retreat of Jim Crow. This book should not only be read, it should be pondered and studied intensively, for there are nuggets of wisdom on every page." - Gerald Horne, Author of Red Seas: Ferdinand Smith and Radical Black Sailors in the U.S. and Jamaica and the forthcoming Mau Mau in Harlem?: The U.S. and the Struggle to Free Kenya (Palgrave Macmillan) "Lieberman and Lang have assembled an arresting collection of essays unabashedly tackling the troubled marriage of Communism and the movements for Black Freedom, Peace, and Mexican-American rights after World War II. While acknowledging an unbroken history of idealism and activist resistance to domestic exploitation over the decades, a range of scholars make available fascinating new research to remind us what was lost in a tragic era when fear and expediency led to a misguided 'crusade' against those imperfect but devoted militants standing in the vanguard of social justice." - Alan M. Wald, H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professor, University of Michigan; Author of Trinity of Passion: The Literary Left and the Anti-Fascist Crusade (2007)."
